FUT Technique

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a surgical method for hair transplant that involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and dissecting it into individual follicular units for transplantation to the recipient area.

During the procedure, the donor strip is carefully removed under local anesthesia and then sutured closed. The strip is then divided into small grafts, each containing one to four follicular units, under a microscope. These grafts are then transplanted into the recipient area using small incisions.

FUT has been a popular method for hair transplant for many years and can offer several benefits over other methods, including the ability to transplant a larger number of grafts in a single session, and the potential for higher graft survival rates.

However, FUT does leave a linear scar on the donor area, which can be visible if the hair is cut short. It is important to note that the scar can be minimized with proper surgical technique and good post-operative care, but it cannot be completely eliminated.

FUT is generally considered to be a safe and effective method for hair restoration, but it does involve surgery and as such, carries some risks and potential complications. These can include bleeding, infection, scarring, and damage to surrounding tissues.

It is important to choose a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon who can provide proper pre- and post-operative care to minimize these risks. With proper care and attention, FUT can provide natural-looking and long-lasting results for hair restoration.

In conclusion, FUT is a surgical method for hair transplant that can offer several benefits over other methods. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of each method and discuss your options with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to determine the best approach for your individual needs and goals. With the right care and attention, you can achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results with FUT.
